I want to make a light emitting through windows and it gets out awful , is there anyway that i can make it smooth , and not so buggy?
when i'm standing near the middle of the window i'm seeing all the billiaboard light lines , and it gets out awful.


i want it to get out something smooth like this ( just imagine the colour of the billiaboard light as blue):



how do i do it?

Move them around a little, reduce size etc. If you want them to be a real master piece you've got to spend like minimum 1 hour on them, but that is for a real master piece.

is there anyway i can copy "stuff" ( items, billboards.. ) from another custom story to mine? , i want to copy these billboard lights in one story, into mine. is there a way to do it?

It's not possible from what i know, plus you wouldn't learn anything from that.

i can't place the items on the map somehow, but i can see they're names on the right side of the screen.
any idea how i can place them?

I won't be able to understand what you mean without a screen shot of your issue.

here im chosing the file i want to import into my map, it's billboard lights, compunded ( i've tried importing other things too , like furniture [ not custom , regular ] but it does the same issue as you will see below):



here i've finally choosen the file i want to import into my map ( right side of the upper screen to see ), but i can't place it because it doesnt appear:

The issue is that you're trying to import a compound (at least from what i could duplicate on my end). Destroy all selected compounds before exporting.
